<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">All the information relative to the motion platform activity are shown in this panel.</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">“Loaded parameters file”</span> shows the cueing file corresponding to the loaded configuration, where all applied changes are eventually saved if the “Save” button is pushed.</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">“Cueing Status”</span> describes the current cueing status and can assume the following value:</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;WAITING INIT: no cueing file loaded, waiting for a input set of parameters;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;WAITING PLATFORM: the cueing file is loaded and applied, the platform is not moving, waiting for the user to Start the motion from the motion platform interface;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;RAMPING UP: the cueing file has been applied and the user has started the motion from the motion platform interface; the platform moves from its neutral position and the cueing signals are sent to the platform HMI multiplied by an increasing ramp to smooth the platform movements; the ramp up duration can be adjusted with the relative iodb_cueing variable, then the status turns into STARTED;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;STARTED: the platform is moving and Drivesim status is Start (green);</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;RAMPING DOWN: the cueing signals are sent to the platform HMI multiplied by a decreasing ramp, bringing the platform to its neutral position; this action occurs whenever the motion is paused, killed or a new configuration is applied; the ramp down duration can be adjusted with the relative iodb_cueing variable;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;PAUSED: the platform is in neutral position, just after the simulation has been paused, Drivesim status is Pause (yellow); this status is always preceded by a ramp-down going into pause, and followed by a ramp-up going out of pause;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;STOPPED: the motion has been stopped from the motion platform interface but the simulation is still running;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SAFE WAIT: this status occurs whenever VI-MC displacements along the 6 DOF exceed the limits defined in the .vicue file (ref to the vicue file description section) or the inputs to VI-MC are not feasible for any kind of vehicle. Platform is brought to neutral position with a ramp-down phase; it is required to drive at least 10 seconds before the motion can be started again from the motion platform control GUI;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;KILLED: this status occurs instead of SAFE WAIT if an external motion cueing is used.</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">“Platform Status”</span> shows the status of the connection between Vi-Drivesim and the platform PLC. This status is always READY unless the IP address for PLC connection is wrong.</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 23px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">“HMI Status”</span> shows the status of the connection between Vi-DriveSim and the platform HMI. This status is always READY unless the settings for HMI connections are wrong.</p>
